Is Bangalore really bad for Non kannada speakers?

I am seeing a lot of hate on social media. Whenever there is a post related to Bangalore all the comments are about "aur karo kannada kannada". I have been in Bangalore for a few months now and most of the people I have talked to in Hindi have replied with some amount of Hindi. Haven't faced any discrimination. (Except in BMTC buses, the conductors are very rude, not sure if it's language related though). Wanted to see if everything I am seeing on social media is true? Or is it just propaganda spread by politicians to divide and rule.

Lived in Bangalore for over a decade now. The only time you get asked “speak in Kannada” is when the other party wants to fight you for whatever reason. It’s like a go-to victim card for the other guy.

If you are here for the long run, learn the language and start interacting with your neighbors, chaiwala, bus conductor, security guard, etc. That is how I learnt the language.

Its a propaganda by BJP supporters to defame the state, taking isolated incident and making it a big issue.

What is everyone's view on this post by Kannadigas

Is there a possibility the situation gets worse? Even the doctors are asked to write prescription in Kannada, so the goverment is also supporting it in a way.

Is this end near for BLR?

It's crazy how this native-non native issue persists immensely in Bangalore. No other developed city like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune has this.

Bangalore is going down big time with so much rising hate in the city.

Challenges of Language Imposition and Unwelcoming Attitudes in Bangalore

I don’t get the narrative of most south states to force their language on others. I mean people from different states in the north speak different native language i.e Punjabi, Haryanvi etc but still they can do the conversation in Hindi....

Or get it on the stores.
